While the previous blog/rant is long...The Adminstration has no choice. This bug (H1N1) probably wont go away soon, and raise its head during fall and winter coming up.

The rest of the blog has nada to do with H1N1- seems to me a guideline should be to stay on task here. The CDC and its employee's are busting their butts to get this problem solved and we should appreciate that. Last I checked Obama doesnt give them their press releases.

Sec of State Clinton? Does she have the flu? Make sense man!

One would swear that the power of destructive force behind one simple word is comparative to the staff that Moses himself parted the seas with. The one simple word that has been wrongly attached to the recent global outbreak has single handedly brought an entire industry to it's knees. The word for all those so ignorant to know any better is "SWINE".
The public's instant perception when hearing the term "Swine Flu" was to immediately, by human nature alone, panic and stir fear into all who would listen that pigs are to be deemed the mixing vessels of all evil.
Not for an instance did the one who coined the term originally think of the destructive powers he or she was about to release. The world's media centre's, as ignorant as they are, spread the untruths more rapidly than the actual virus spreads itself.
The end result is a crippled industry that contributes billions of dollars world wide. On fear and misconception alone, our futures markets have collapsed at a time where the summer markets traditionally bring us our highest financial rewards. Combine this with the fact that we haven't made any profits for the past two plus years already, and well you can see where I'm going.
The old addage that only 2% of the population supplies the other 98% has never before meant so much.
Well now, thanks to ignorance, an extremely gullable public auditorium, and the miss use of a single word by a supposed professional, an entire industry as well as millions of jobs world wide are at stake.
YOU CAN NOT GET SICK FROM EATING PORK!
You'll have to excuse me now as my delicious pork chops are nearly done on my outdoor grill, just a couple more minutes until the ribs suck up that honey garlic BBQ sauce and presto......a meal fit for a king!
